You should check the condition of the crank and mic it, not the bearings. And get a new machinist. Its not only how smooth the deck is its how flat it is, a board is not flat enough!
I think that is from me, I set the cams down on a dirty bench. I just finished smoothing out a set of valve covers so needless to say there was aluminum everywhere. I didn't get a chance to pull my other head apart and check the cams in it today like I hoped so....tomorrow.
